PS Magazine, also known as PS, The Preventive Maintenance Monthly, is an official publication of the U.S. Army, providing information for all soldiers assigned to combat and combat duties. The magazine covers issues concerning maintenance, maintenance procedures and supply problems.

In 1968 and 1969, Eisner illustrated The M16A1 Rifle (DA PAM 750-30) as a standalone issue of PS specifically to address issues related to the then-new M16 rifle as it was fielded in Vietnam.
